===================
In this game you can marry or have a sworn brother. I am going to explain thir
benefits, how to get them, and I'm also going to talk about children.
===============
= 2. Marriage =
===============
You can have a wife or a husband in this game. Once you marry, you can visit
them by going to the Townspeople menu in the city. They take the place of the
servant. They may sometime give you some gold, but what they really do is teach
you skills or tactics. Also if you give them the Gold Earrings, Scent Pouch,
and Koto, and they will give you the Seven Star Sword. This gives you a +10 to
your War ability. You can only have 1 spouse. You won't get married if your age
is 60 or more or you have an infamy of 1000 or higher. To marry a man, you must
create a female officer.
Like the sages, the spouses don't die. You can marry them in any scenario.
Except Diao Chan, Sun Shang Xiang, The Qiaos, Hu Ji, and Zhu Rong.

=====================
= 3. Sworn Brothers =
=====================
In this game you can have a sworn brother also called oath brother. You can
become oath brothers with anyone in the game except with someone already in
your family. You can have 3 oath brothers and cannot be sworn brothers with
someone who already has 3 brothers. Females can also be oath sisters, but for
the purpose of explaining things in this guide they will all just be referred
to as brothers. The best example of oath brothers would be Liu Bei, Guan Yu,
and Zhang Fei.
To become an oath brother you must raise your friendship level to Loyal. Do
this by talking, giving a gift, or inviting to a banquet. Keep talking to them
once they are in Loyal and they will eventually ask to become oath brothers.
You can accept or refuse. Accepting initiates a scene where you raise your
swords and swear an oath. You are then brothers. Refusing upsets them, but
doesn't lower your friendship.
An advantage of oath brothers is if you have a sworn enemy. If they come to
assassinate you and your brother is in your city then when you call for help
they will come to your aid. If you are in battle with a sworn brother your
morale will rise.
===============
= 4. Children =
===============
You can have children in this game. There are two ways. You can get married and
have a kid with your wife, but this only works for the PC version of the game.
The other way is to create a character and set its parent to a certain
character. Or use another character who already has a parent. For example,
Cao Cao and Cao Pi. There are a few benefits to children. When they are old
enough they will join whichever force you belong to, strengthening it. They
start with a Trusted relationship with you. If you die then you can continue
the game as your child or sworn brother.
